There was an 87 for sale at the drag strip yesterday i talked to the guy and he said it was running on one rotor and needed a rebuild. I looked around the outside of it and the interior for a little bit and then asked him to pop the hood. He did and i started looking around it was missing the air box(nothing at all was connected to it) and a few radiator caps. I looked at it a little more then looked at him and said you want how much for it? $1500. i said ill give you $500 cash. He told me no i cant go lower than 1100 becuase i need the money for my race cars ( 67 nova and accord ). The funny thing is he was telling me that he looked around at the stock times and what he could get out of it and decided it wasnt worth it becuase it would be to slow and his higly modded racing accord only ran 14's, wtf.

Haha...I think what he meant was the fact that he wanted a cheap race car and not one that looked good. Parts for an accord or nova are cheap as hell. He probably only gets his parts from autozone too and when was the last time you were actually able to find any part for an Rx-7 there?

That sucks..

How can you tell it's been in an accident by looking at those pics j9fd3s?

I was going to ask the exact same thing.. but, didn't want to feel like a jackass in the end.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png well.. the front left light isn't there.. maybe that could be an indication..

I'd like to know that as well? I am looking for a nice TII with a blown motor? For $1100 it doesn't look too bad.

The FTP light? How does that prove anything?

Yea, I'll have to agree, the car looks nice.

Oh idk, I was just saying that's the only thing I really noticed about it..

damn thats a steal, so why the hell didn't you buy it???

I think I see his reasoning now. I just looked at the last pic a little closer. It has a creased dent on the fire wall and the radiator support. Also it is missing the plastic piece that goes on the front side of the radiator support and underneath the overflow bottle(aids in directing air to the radiator). This is probably why it has no air box and no flash to pass lense.

Yea, that's what I was wondering..

But still.. $1100 for a TII.. :bigthumg:

The firewall looks light the light is just reflecting on it funny making it look creased. Other than that, the front end may have been hit at one point but it looks like they put it together well. How many miles were on it? All it may need is a new engine and a few smaller pieces, **** I'll buy it, it looks pretty clean to me. Where is the corner that you are hiding in?

Yea, it just needs to be fixed up and given a good home.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

I was just stating what I saw. If you buy it good luck. I hope it doesn't cost you anymore to get it fixed and running than the cost of the rebuild.

If I get it, I wouldn't consider it a good home. I will run that car hard all the time. It will be my drifting practice car as well as my burnout, donuts, etc..car. I will take care of her but she will have to earn her keep around here. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png :smirk: :twisted:

well.. that's cool.. at least someone will drive her, instead of letting it just go to waste.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Hey Seppuku, where R U?

Looks good otherwise tho.A nice project.Just needs a huge street port. :yum:

thats exactly what i saw, also the fender is closer to the headlight lid than i would epect, the rest of the car does look nice though

Well for that price, big whoopy.
